WARNING TO PERSONS GROUNDING
INSTALLATION
DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal
injury or death. Do not disassemble the appliance.
Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug
into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.
2. If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance.
b. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire
cord.

c. The long cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
CLEANING
Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.
1. Clean the cavity of the oven after use with a slightly damp cloth.
2. Clean the accessories in soapy water.
3. The door frame, seal and neighbouring parts must be cleaned
carefully with a damp cloth regularly. Do not operate unit if
these are dirty.
4. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface,
which may result in shattering of the glass.
5. Cleaning tip – for easier cleaning of the cavity walls place half a
lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100%
microwave power for 10 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a
soft, dry cloth.
